Retract of a quasi-isomorphism of chain complexes.












1














$require{AMScd}$



I want to show that the retract of a quasi-isomorphism of chain complexes is also a quasi-isomorphism of chain complexes. Let $X,Y,A,B$ be chain complexes in degrees greater than and equal to $0$. Say that $f:Xto Y$ is a qis, and $g:Ato B$ is a retract of $f$:



$$begin{CD}
A@>>> X@>>>A\
@VVV @VVV @VVV\
B @>>> Y@>>> B
end{CD}$$

where the top composite is the identity, the bottom composite is the identity, $Xto Y$ is a qis and the diagram commutes.



Then taking homology and considering any degree $n$ we have:
$$begin{CD}
H_n(A)@>>> H_n(X)@>>>H_n(A)\
@VVV @VVV @VVV\
H_n(B) @>>> H_n(Y)@>>> H_n(B)
end{CD}$$




  • The top row is the identity composition,

  • Thus $H_n(A)to H_n(X)$ is injective,

  • Then the composite $H_n(A)to H_n(B)to H_n(Y)$ is injective,

  • Thus the left square has $H_n(A)to H_n(B)$ injective.

  • Similarly $H_n(Y)to H_n(B)$ is surjective.

  • Since the right square commutes we have that $H_n(A)to H_n(B)$ is surjective.

  • But the injective map on the left column is the same map $g_*$ as the surjective map on the rightmost column.

  • Then $H_n(A)to H_n(B)$ is an isomorphism.

  • This occurs in each degree and hence $Ato B$ is a qis.


Is this correct?
